Bringle, of Newton township, has completed a commodious barn. .Remember when you buy harness of Grauel, you get the very best Oak-tanned leather. I —— Marion Timmons, of Jordon township, proposes to move to Nebraska, some time in February. The public highways and bridges are orphans now, there being no ond to come for or look after them. The County Commissioners failed to meet January 2nd and elect a secretary of county Board of Health. There are plenty of good and very cheap lands for sale in Jasper county. Invite your friends to purchase and settle here. Say a good word for Rensselaer wherever you go. There is room for hundreds more good citizens, the town is neither made nor fenced in. Geo. Bessie, of Jbrdan township, has sold his farm to A. J. Yeoman, and has bought the old Lamson farm, west of the Egypt school house. / Rensselaer ought to have a new school house. There are a number of people who would buy lots and build here,' if school accommodations were sufficient for all. , i . mm ••• m 1 - Misses Julia Kirk and May "Washburn, collected money enough from the liberal citizens of Rensselaer, to purchase new window curtains for the Baptist church. The Marshal ought to obtain a pound, and enforce the law against the running at large of stock. Borne people will not obey a law unless the are compelled to do so. Santa Claus has come and gone, but Geo. Graul is still here and i 3 selling harness and saddles cheaper than ever. Shop on Washington Street, opposite F. W. Bedford’s store. John Timmons, of Pleasant Ridge; Millard Kaessner, of Newton township; and Isaac Jay, of Jordan township, each have recently taken paternal charge of lively little son’s. The Town Board passed six ordinances, providing for plank side walks, and one for sewer on the north side of Washington street, from near Judge Hammond’s residence to the river. The parties who are circulating the story, that there is small pox in Rensselaer, ought to be compelled to tell the truth, if it choked them. There have been no cases here for many years. The Calender Clock, to be given to the person buying the most goods for cash of me, from the 10th day of Dec, 81, to the 10th day of Jan, 82, belongs to Mrs. H* O. Harris. Hardman “The” Jeweler.

Mr. end Mrs. B. F. Ferguson took the train on Monday last for Riverside, in Southern California, whither they go in the hope that the mild, sweet climate of that land will restore the vigor of health once more to Mrs. Ferguson’s wasted form. * All are invited to go to the Christain church next Sunday morning, and hfear R. S- Dwiggins discuss the question: If the world is not burned up what will become of it? will it ever be restored to its purity, as it was before it was cnrsed for Adam’s sake? The Books, Accounts, and notes of B. F. Ferguson have been turned over to R. S. & Z. Dwiggins and W. W. Watson for collection and settlement. All persons kowing themselves "indebted to Mr. Ferguson will please call at once, at the Citizen’s Bank, and settle. The- YOCNG-FOOL-WITH-HIS- FIRST -pistol was among the crowd who were waiting to welcome the' first train from Chicago on Monday last, and finding that flourishing the weapon did not make him sufficiently conspicuous, he shot a harmless little dog that had come there in company with his owner The fool ought to have been arrested and fined, but it was not done. Of all hateful things in this •world wanton and unprovoked cruelty is one of the worst. ......

Frank Deliaven and Thomas Saylor have purchased the old Cooper mill, o#the Monon, sixteen or eighteen miles east of here. Rensselaer will lose two good citizens, but what is our loss is White County’s gain. The Republican wishes vou success, gentlemen. The first through passenger train from Chicago arrived Monday in accordance with notice previously given by the railroad company. The time for its arrival was shortly after eleven o’clock, and a largo crowd gathered at the station to meet it. But owing to the fact that a “sink hole” up in Lake county, north of Lowell, had swallowed up some 90 feet of the" track the day before the train did not get in until about four in the afternoon. The train consists of three bran new cars, and is a beauty, by general consent. It is in charge of Mr. Brothers, of Delphi, a very gentlemanly and obliging conductor. The track over the sink hole above mentioned was patched up, in some shape, to enable the two passenger trains of Monday to cross; but the track having settled four feet Monday night, the company gave up, as a bad job, the attempt to maintain it across the hole, and a large force of men set to work to cut a new track through a neighboring hill. After Monday no trains were run until Wednesday afternoon.

Mr. McCoy, we are sorry to say, has, in the excess of his modesty, declined the honor of having the new station, oh this side of Bradford, called by his name; and it will be called Marlborough. The stations between Rensselaer and tjie Kankakee have received names as follows, beginning with the nearest: Surrey, Pembroke, Rose Lawn and Thayer’s. Marlborough, Surrey, and Pembroke have about them an ancient flavor of hold Hengland which may be very well in its place, but when found in the names of way-side stations, in the wilds of Hoosierdom, savors a little too strongly of flunkeyism. I must see J. V. W. Kirk and have him order my a nice dress pattern. \ More Side-walks—The town board of trustees have ordered sidewalks to be constucted as follows: On the northerly side of Cornelia street, from Division to Cullen; on the northerly side of Angelica from Division, ta.
